I have the opportunity of purchasing this mk1 GMT. I've held it and seen it up close and I'm just waiting on serial number. Dial appears flawless, a few marks on the plexi. Oyster bracelet, watch only. Any red flags? Thanks in advance

Looks like a very fine specimen!

happy ST. Patty's...nice sweater!

Looks nice to me too! Seen some wear, none of which seems to involve tragic polishing or water... she has some stories...

rolstaff · 18 March 2017, 04:37 AM

I like it. Very nice 1675 !!!.

Does the serial fit to MK I ?

sensui · 18 March 2017, 04:38 AM

That looks just divine....good find.

1675-David · 18 March 2017, 05:21 AM

Thats a keeper, get it while you can!

JustinRolex · 18 March 2017, 06:28 AM

That's nice mate what's the serial?

rootbeer7 · 18 March 2017, 06:50 PM

Thanks for the feedback. It may be part of a deal with a great matte dial 16800 plus cash to me for my 1665. I should have serial number later

Rebel · 18 March 2017, 09:02 PM

Most excellent.

Qtip.416 · 19 March 2017, 08:27 AM

Very nice. Hope it works out!

rootbeer7 · 1 April 2017, 06:51 AM

It has been suggested that the case may have been 're-built' and chamfers re-cut? Any advice?

Tom1675 · 1 April 2017, 07:20 AM

Chamfers being re-cut is part of an aforementioned polish, but it doesn't seem like the lugs are over-polished so could be OK. As for rebuilt and without knowing what that means in context, you'll need some pics of the watch with the back off, this watch should have a date stamped on the back and a good look at the movement will be useful. Get a Macro of the dial and post all pics if you are concerned about condition.

Looks like a nice specimen. Hands have probably been changed in the past but they look like they might still be tritium.

omitohud · 1 April 2017, 11:39 AM

Re-cut = polished maybe? Still the case looks strong. I wouldn't mind at all. Very similar to my last gmt.

I blame it on the autoconnect.

rootbeer7 · 1 April 2017, 06:04 PM

Thanks for all your help. It's from a bricks and mortar shop and It'll come with a year's guarantee. Wants around £7k. Just waiting on confirmation of serial number

Vincent65 · 3 April 2017, 01:07 AM

Looks like a good one to me. Hands match dial pretty well, too.

Ok guys, bracelet removed, numbers clear 285xxxx serial. Case looks great. Just checking this serial is correct for Mk1.

vermyapre · 4 April 2017, 11:26 PM

Serial number 285xxxx should be Mark 2 if I'm not wrong

Mark 1 is fine for the serial number.
